I can define the English quite clearly.
The English are the historic people formed in England through a particular ethnogenesis: the interaction and consolidation of Anglo-Saxon, Brittonic, Norse, Norman and other elements into a distinct population, with its own inherited language, institutions, customs, historical memory and continuity across generations.
No other people on earth have that exact history of formation. The French do not. The Japanese do not. The Nigerians do not. The Scots do not. Each has its own ethnogenesis.
That particular history is what makes English ethnicity English.
So saying “everyone is mixed” proves nothing. Mixture is universal in the abstract; ethnogenesis is particular in reality. What matters is which peoples mixed, where, when, through what historical processes, and what continuing people emerged from them.
Only the English descend from the specifically English ethnogenesis. That is precisely why “mixed” cannot be used as a magic word to dissolve the English into humanity in general.

Ethnicity is about ancestry, not the colour of your skin. There is only a certain extent to which you can have a multiethnic society without it becoming multicultural because culture is passed down generationally. That is why preserving the ethnic make up of a country matters if it is to remain culturally recognisable.

Englishness is an inherited relationship between a people, their history, and the generations who carry it forward.

Does Rishi admire English culture? Yes.
Is Rishi ethnically English? No. Neither am I. He’s a British citizen.
Englishness is an ethnicity, rooted in ancestry and heritage. It’s not controversial, we shouldn’t deny English heritage, erase it or turn it into something fluid.

A passport makes you a British citizen. It does not make you English, Scottish, Welsh or Irish.
Only ancestral descent from the historic peoples of England, Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland makes you English, Scottish, Welsh or Northern Irish.
Suella Braverman has a more coherent grasp of ethnicity and nationality than the average so-called British 'nationalist'.
As I’ve said before, I’m not English.
I’m proud to be British. My family and ancestors have a link to Britain which spans centuries.
But in no way are we English. Yes, I was born in England, speak English and support the England football team. And indeed, I love England and the English people.
But to say I’m English is to take a ‘laissez-faire, anything-goes’ attitude to ethnicity, citizenship and identity. It also denies me my Asian heritage. The liberals (many of them in today’s Conservative Party) take this cosmopolitan approach to Englishness. They’re terrified of being called racist so they say that anyone, as long as they’re born here, can be English.
I take the conservative approach. Englishness is an ethnicity. There have been English people for centuries and we need to recognise this more if we are to start taking a more muscular approach to citizenship and nationality. And no, it’s not racist to say this.
Other countries have no qualms in limiting who can be part of their citizenry and use ethnicity and culture as criteria. Here, the dogma of multiculturalism has been so corrosive that some people don’t actually know who we are anymore.

Restore’s identity paper admits that citizenship, ancestry and belonging are different. But it never decides which comes first.

The issue is not whether migration should be selective, since every controlled border necessarily selects. The prior question is why a state should treat the admission of new populations as a standing function at all.
A nation is not simply a labour market or administrative territory to be efficiently supplied with people. It is a historically continuous community, and any policy that changes its composition requires a serious justification in terms of its long-term continuity, cohesion, and capacity for belonging.

I’ve seen a lot of blackpilling on here recently and people saying it’s too late to save England. You all need to stop being so weak.
Alfred the Great was exiled to a literal swamp on the edge of his kingdom after a Viking attack. He and his descendants retook England after that. It’s never too late. Our ancestors would be ashamed of our weakness.
England has almost been lost before and won back. We just have to be prepared to work really hard, possibly for a really long time.

Ironically I agree with restricting social media for young kids and teens in some way; the developmental impact on them appears to be very large.
However, lets not pretend that this isn't just embedding passive digital monitoring on the entire country; the intent is right, the execution is Blair finally getting digital ID / monitoring (ID will come in on the back of this).
We are banning social media access for under 16s.
These days kids must find their feet in a world where technology intrudes into every area of their life.
I just can’t let that go on anymore. So we’re giving children their childhoods back.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The UK Government's 'careful review' of the research found a small correlation between children's use of social media and wellbeing, but no evidence of a causal effect:

Nobody wants to see violence on the streets. Nobody wants to see private or public property on fire.
But nobody wants to see foreigners decapitating our people on the streets, either. Nobody asked for Sudanese maniacs to be imported into our country to kill our people.
The "far-right" have been warning about this inevitable violence for decades, not because we want it, but because we want to prevent it (see "Rivers of Blood").
All of this is because of the policy choices of the liberal establishment. At every step we have tried to warn the establishment that this will happen, and their response is always the same: "don't look back in anger". This is their choice.
Anger is not a policy choice. It's a natural, normal and proper response to the beheading of our people by foreign lunatics.
The fact that the liberal establishment channel that anger into violence by gaslighting, ignoring and goading our people at every turn is a policy choice and it is the one, only and single cause of violence on our streets.

The very phrase “white men are overrepresented” is not as neutral as it sounds.
In England, the “white men” being spoken about are overwhelmingly English men. So what is really being said?
Are there too many Englishmen in English institutions?
Too many Englishmen in English public life? Too many Englishmen visible in the country built by their ancestors?
This is why the language matters. “White men” is used as an abstract category of guilt, detached from place, history, and inheritance. But once the frame is shifted back to Englishmen in England, the argument becomes absurd.
A people cannot be “overrepresented” in its own homeland merely because it has not yet been demographically or institutionally reduced.
This is nothing more than dispossession disguised as equality.
Liberal-progressives are trying to cow us into an empathy trap using the family of Henry Nowak so that we do not talk about serious issues harming our nation like mass immigration, multi-culturalism and institutional anti-white racism.
They'll exploit any tool at their disposal to stop their ideology being questioned, including grieving families.
